The 5 Shortcuts To Internet Marketing Success
Posted by: | CommentsGuest post by Paul
You’re probably reading this because you want to know how to make a full-time income working from home – if so allow me to introduce you to internet marketing.
You can make a substantial amount of money simply selling other people’s products online. In some instances you don’t even need your own web site.
In fact, the process of making money through internet marketing is actually very easy, but like most things it’s a skill that needs to be learnt. It’s like a musical instrument – the more you practice, the better you’ll become.
That’s not to say that there aren’t any shortcuts you can take to fast track your progress. Here’s five of my top tips for making a full time living from home through affiliate marketing:-
1) Build a List
This is absolutely fundamental if you’re planning on creating a long term, stable business. You’ve probably heard it before but “the money is in the list”. Why? Because in effect your subscribers are assets that you can use to generate income at time you like – essentially it’s traffic on demand!
The top internet marketers out there with over a million people on their list can pretty much generate cash on demand. They just need to send a single promotional email out and a percentage of users are sure to buy the product. I recently met a guy at the World Internet Summit – each time he sent an email he’d expect to receive around $3,000 in sales.
How would you like earn $3,000 for sending one email?!
2) Market Research
This is hugely important – you can’t pitch to a crowd of people if you don’t understand them. I’d go as far to say that you can have the strongest sales pitch in the world, but if you are targeting the wrong audience then you’ll have little to no success.
The easiest way to get to know your audience is to hang out with them. Go into forums and speak to them, ask them questions, find out what their worries are and what problems they face. People purchase primarily on emotions even though they like to think they are purchasing through logic – so as a marketer you need to get under their skin!
3) Steady on Cowboy – One Niche At A Time!
Multiple revenue streams, yes. Multiple income streams, no. There is a big difference. If you’re in a niche and you’re making money from that niche then you should milk that niche for all it’s worth!
Where’s the sense in trading the benefits of a proven money-making niche and risking your time on other niches? Apart from anything else, when you’re marketing to one niche properly you shouldn’t have time for other niches.
If I threw 10 cricket balls at you then you’d probably catch none of them. If I threw one, however, you’d be more than likely to catch it!
That’s not to say that it’s not a good idea to diversify further down the line, but generally you should be at the point where you can outsource all the work in your original niche before setting up new campaigns.
4) People Are Starting To See Through Hype
Studies show that an overwhelming majority of the population are still very cautious when it comes to purchasing online for fear of being ripped off. By using ridiculous sales pitches with false promises you are putting yourself in grave danger of losing any credibility in the eyes of your prospects.
Take this example I just made up:
“I simply had to tell you something before I absolutely EXPLOAD. If you implement everything in this new product then you’ll literally have thousands of dollars flowing into your wallet EVERY SINGLE DAY. What’s even better…It’s on complete auto-pilot – you don’t have to do a THING! You simply need to spend 5 minutes setting the system up and you’ll never have to worry about money again.”
Would you buy from someone who’s promising that?
Your time is much better spent providing your visitors with real value, building a relationship with them and earning their trust. If you can do this well then you’ll have super high conversion rates.
5) Work Cleverly Not Hard
This is such an important part of the equation. I often hear about internet marketers who are spending hours and hours on their online business when the work can be outsourced for peanuts or when there is a path of least resistance staring right at them.
A certain friend of mine is building a free e-book giveaway to encourage people to sign up to his list. He has literally spent the last 5 weeks putting this giveaway together and it’s still not finished. Here’s what he should have done:-
1) Outsource the whole thing – it’s a free giveaway, not a paid for product, there’s no shame in having someone else write you an ebook for $50.
2) Find PLR articles on the web and mash together a useful e-book in a couple of hours. PLR articles are free for you to use and giveaway (always check the licensing rights first).
3) I may decide to create the e-book myself, but you can rest assured I wouldn’t be typing it for 5 weeks. I’d invest in Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 (voice to text conversion software), speak into my microphone and have my words transcribed at 120 words per minute. The book would be done in a couple of days max.
Learning to internet market correctly is about problem solving, intelligent action and getting things done quickly and to high quality.
Like any business if you don’t spend the money, then you need to spend the time. It’s important to manage your resources – weigh up the cost – benefit ratio of each and every piece of work you undertake so that you are not guilty of wasting 5 weeks of your life like my friend.

10 Titillating Tips for Making Money Blogging
Posted by: | CommentsGuest Post by Chris
So you want to make money blogging but you don’t know where to start, eh? Well you should 
start by NOT purchasing one of the thousands of make money online guides that haven’t made anyone rich … except the people selling the make money online guides.
The truth is, the vast majority of people who make an income blogging do so by being passionate about what they blog about. Are you passionate about what you blog about? You should be. Because your competitors are; every online niche — ranging from biography to baseball — has at least a handful of bloggers that actually love what they write about.
If you want to beat them to an audience, you are going to have to get ahead of the curve. Below are ten sure-fire ways you can do that.
1. Make sure your entire blog is search engine optimized. This means: using h1 headings, alt and title attributes, bountiful content, large amounts of internal links and meta description tags.
2. Promote your feed – it’s your lifeline to potential returning visitors. Your visitors should have a way of easily accessing content to your site and, sometimes, they don’t prefer to visit your URL. You should be using Google FeedBurner so that you can record feed stats, optimize with Google’s ping service and monetize your feeds with AdSense.
3. Get external dofollow links to your blog. Don’t point them all at the frontpage with the same anchor text. Make sure you get links from sites that are related – the mighty Google knows the difference.
4. Research different advertising options. Remember – AdSense is not always the answer. I have known long time bloggers who turned completely to services like ClickBank and Paydotcom (affiliate networks) and have increased their profits by ten fold.
5. Identify good ad placement spots on your blog. The eye often starts mid-left on the page, which makes it an ideal place for advertisements; but not all blogs are structured the same way. You may have design elements in your template that cause the eye to start in different places on the page. Experimenting with different ad placements is the only way to maximize their performance.
6. Feature an ‘Advertise Here’ page on your blog with traffic and demographic stats for potential advertisers. Some blogs get 90% of their income from private advertisers so you want to make it easy for them to contact you.
7. Never have blank banners on your blog. Run dummy ads if you don’t have advertisers yet. Use the space to advertise that you are looking to sell ad space.
8. Take advantage of social networking mediums like Facebook and Twitter. No matter how little known your blog is, you should have a Facebook and Twitter page because some people prefer using these services to follow you.
9. Insert share buttons at the bottom of each of your blog posts. You never know when someone might submit something of yours, allowing your blog massive Stumbleupon or Digg traffic.
10. Frequently update your blog. You will never gain followers if you are a lazy, infrequent blogger. This is the single most important thing to practice if you are looking to make money blogging.
If you regularly practice the above methods, with determination (and maybe a little luck), you will be making a profit from your blog in no time. Stay driven, stay consistent and don’t give up!

Dating Affiliate Programs ! People Find Love and You Earn Money!
Posted by: | CommentsGuest post by Malick Yann
A dating website is a website which help people to find the kind of relationship they are looking for. Every month, hundred of couples are created through these websites. But the question is:
How can you help people around you or your friends to find love and also make money at the same time?
Today, many dating website provide an affiliate program. The system is very simple and affordable for anyone want to start a small business online.
Contrary to other affiliate programs where you do have to sell their products through your affiliate links before making money, dating websites have an interesting policy of affiliate marketing. Here are their programs:
- Pay Per Lead Program
The fastest way to make money with them is the Pay Per Lead Program. It means that you earn money when someone sign up for free to their website through your affiliate links or banners. Some dating websites pay you an amount of $11 per each confirmed registration you generate.
- Pay Per Sale Program
Generally, if the free member you have generated decide to order a subscription plan in order to get more visibility, details about who view his/her profile and be able to contact them by email or phone, it will earn you money. This is called Pay Per Sale Program.
- Percentage Program
This is the best of both worlds, combining per-lead and per-sale payouts. You can get up to 90% from each every sale and also a bonus if you generate 30 and more subscriptions within a calendar month for certain dating websites.
- Referral Program
You can also refer other affiliates or webmasters and earn between 5% to 10% of their payouts.
Finally, you don’t need to sign up to each program separately. Some dating websites include all their programs in your affiliate account when you sign up to one.
Here are some good dating affiliate programs:
Match.com – Chimistry.com – Friendfinder.com – EasyDate.com – Megafriends.com

Sincerely, I want you to succeed online. If you don’t start now, it is almost certain you won’t make money later. Kind Regards.

How to Build a Website to Maximize Your Affiliate Marketing Earnings
Posted by: | CommentsIf you are seriously interested in affiliate marketing, then one of the first things you need to do is to build a website/blog to maximize your earnings. You can surely advertise your affiliate programs without a personal website, by adding links in your email signatures. But the number of people you can target using this method is very small and will help just a little. If you can build a website to maximize your affiliate marketing earnings, the audience to which you are exposing the affiliate program is much larger.
Tips to maximize your affiliate marketing website potential:
1. Choose a Great Topic: This step is critical and many people go wrong here, as they don’t pick an area they are passionate about. You need to create a website around a niche that you love or know a lot about, so that you can always work on it and make it better. A lot of your time and effort will go in creating good content for your website. So choose something you really love to read and write about. Once you have selected your niche, do research to identify some good affiliate products that would go well with your site. Also, make sure that there is a good market for those affiliate products and people buy them.
2. Selecting a Domain Name: Using a site like register.com or a good web-host’s site, do some research and check for domain names. While you are doing your research, remember that it is a great idea to have an important keyword in your domain name. So if your website will be about “designer bags”, try to include that phrase in your domain name. Your domain name must be easy to remember, have a good keyword and easy to type. Try not to have dashes in the domain name and instead, look for ones that have a dot com address.
3. Web Hosting: Purchase a basic personal website package from a web hosting company. Prior to selecting your web host, ask around for some good recommendations. You need a web hosting company that has good customer service, is reliable and is not down too often.
4. Site Builder / Software: Next comes the task of building your website. For this you can make use of a site builder like internetbasedfamilies.com, or software package like Microsoft FrontPage. Site builders are normally easy to use, and also include web hosting. Thus, you will end up paying a monthly fee for the software and hosting combo. You could also ask someone to design and build the site for you.
5. Driving Traffic to the website: You will have to optimize your web pages for search engines using SEO (search engine optimization) to get good traffic. You can also write articles with good content and submit them to article directories. A few other options to drive traffic to your website are buying ads on other sites that are based on your niche, newsletters and pay-per-click advertisements.
Make Money By Getting Your Listings Seen on Ebay
Posted by: | CommentsGuest post by Shane
While it’s true that eBay is the world’s biggest marketplace with millions of sellers from all over the world, there are still some easy steps you can follow to get buyers to notice your listings. Although the steps are critical since it’s very important to bring your listings to soar above the competition, they are few in number. Implementing these tips and tricks can be done by anyone with the end result being more buyers and eyes drawn to your auctions.
To attract buyers you must think like one. This means that you must ask yourself; would you buy something without seeing it, or would an auction with a few pictures be easier for you to bid on? It is a fact that most buyers stay away from sellers with several negative feedback, whether they received it for items shipping late or not as described. For that same reason why would you expect buyers to buy from you if the same could be said of your listings and/or reputation?
This means that in order to get eBay shoppers not only to shop from you, but to trust your listings integrity, you need to include detailed pictures of your item(s). Any spot, blemish or damage on an item should be photograph as well. Always try and upload your pictures at about 400 by 300 pixels jpegs of high quality and take advantage of eBay’s free photo hosting service. It is best to resize them to 400 by 300 since eBay will do so anyway and you will end up losing picture details after uploading if you don’t.
Nothing is more annoying and distracting than listings which force the user to have to decipher them. Why would a buyer spend his or her hard earned money in your hard to read listings when there are so many more user-friendly listings available out there? The best way to keep your buyers from leaving your page and reading your auctions is by using a HTML template which helps make the reading easier on the eyes. If you’re not too familiar with HTML tags then eBay offers you a low cost listing designer for you to use. Just remember that you don’t need fancy code to make your listings readable and simple; and that’s what buyers want!
Another thing to be on the lookout for is grammatical errors. Readers hate that as well so make sure your description is not full of typos. There are also many sellers who at times keep their description too short or sometimes give none at all. Too much correct information is never enough information so be sure to add many details when describing your item. If by any chance the product is scratched or damaged in any way, be sure to describe it in detail with a picture to help better describe the damage.
When it comes to the payment options you give to your buyers; the more the merrier. PayPal is the most used on eBay as it gives the buyer the option of paying with their PayPal account, debit card or bank account. However you can and should add money order and check options as well.
So keep in mind that while there may be millions of different sellers hawking the same items ultimately, when your listings are easier to read and well organized they will buy from you. If your auctions contain good quality photos and informative description you will leave others wondering why your listings attract more customers; and you will already know why!
